Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has shown his class off the field once more after greeting a boy who awoke from a coma after hearing the Portuguese international scored a hat-trick for his country in 2014.
The young lad -David Pawlaczyc - suffered an extremely serious brain injury in 2013 following an accident on his bike, and was left in a coma for almost 12 weeks before being moved to an intensive ward to further treat his condition.
Having been relocated, it was advised that Portugal's crucial World Cup qualifier game against Sweden to book their place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was put on in the child's room, seeing as he is a mega Ronaldo fan.
And thenon the 19th November, somewhat miraculously,the Sunreported that thepreviously unconscious boy awoke from his coma after reportedly hearing Ronaldo score his third goal for Portugal against the Swede's to book their place in Rio.
The power of Cristiano Ronaldo is not to be underestimated ðŸ'Œ.

After hearing about the news, the former Manchester United winger invited David to the Bernabeu to watch a Real Madrid game, before agreeing to meet up with the boy when Madrid travelled to Legia Warsaw in the Champions League.
It took David and his family six hours to get there, but it seemed to be definitely worth it for the Ronaldo-mad ultra-fan, receiving some signed memorabilia as well as a hug from the big man himself.
Hats off Ronaldo.
